Bonnievale Adventure Camp

Bonnievale, South Africa
Feb 21-24, 2008


After being largely on our own for 6 weeks Site 2 and 3 met up for an adventure-filled weekend at Bonnievale Adventure camp. From sleeping out under the stars, to eating over the open fire it was a fun weekend for all.

High Ropes


Bonnievale was pretty much the sweetest! From sleeping outside and being next to a river that we could swim in anytime we wanted to was amazing. We enjoyed home cooked meals every day and fun activities like high ropes, kayaking and a sweet rope swing into the river made it that much better.

The people who ran the camp were so nice and were always there if we needed something or just there to tell the history of the place and stories from their past experiences around South Africa. Being around a Camp fire every night with Site two and catching up was definitely a nice break from the crazy life of Outtatown!

Riel and Dave... just hangin' out.
Rebekah, smiling as usual!
Rachel is enjoying the view from a higher vantage point.

Chantel adds an element of challenge to the course by scalling across upside down!
Jen braves the high ropes after much encouragement from her PMG and close friends (was it really encouragement or peer pressure Jen?)

Julia shows off her skills on the not-so-tight-rope

Here Justin and Johnny have convinced Amanda to face her fear of heights... they look more convinced than she does...but she did great in the end!
